2.2.25 Oak Park Historic District Ordinance # 2007-094 and 2008-11 December 4, 2007 and March 4, 2008
Oak Park Historic District The Oak Park Historic District represents the commercial core of Oak Park, and is comprised mostly brick buildings constructed in the teens and 1920s. In 1911, when Oak Park was annexed to the City of Sacramento, the burg had several thousand residents and a thriving business district. The Oak Park annexation was the first expansion of the boundaries of Sacramento since the city was first laid out in 1848. The prompt response by the City of Sacramento to Oak Park s needs was instrumental in laying the foundation for growth in the years to come. In 1913 the City s Building Inspector reported that Oak Park was the fastest growing residential district in the City, and the 1914 City Directory listed almost 800 homes in Oak Park. Most of the more important businesses and business structures in Oak Park were located alongside the streetcar tracks that came down Sacramento Boulevard from 31st to 35th, then turning south down 35th Street and into the park. The money that flowed into this strip was largely from residents in other parts of the city coming to Oak Park. The buildings along 35th Street from Sacramento to 5th Avenue gave Oak Park a look similar to many of California s Main Street towns from the 1920s. The movement of employment opportunities in the area around Oak Park also aided growth and stability. Across Stockton Boulevard to the east were the State Fair grounds provided both full time and seasonal work. The Libby, McNeil & Libby cannery on Alhambra and Stockton Boulevard was built in 1912, providing hundreds of seasonal jobs. In 1924 the California Highway Commission (now Caltrans) opened its vehicle and equipment repair shops buildings nearby at 34th & R Streets employing more than 100 skilled mechanics. The District that has been delineated for Oak Park is just a remnant of its once vital business core. However, its remaining members evoke a sense of the original business district s character, and several of its buildings are fine examples of their era.
